In a Truth Social post, Trump attacked Biden − and Hamas − by accusing the president of “taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the Radical Mobs taking over our college campuses.”
No, what I saw people bristling at mostly were either 1) injecting “yeah, well Biden sucks because genocide” into conversations about Trump or about the election or something in that arena, or 2) people jumping into conversations and rattling off low-effort posts with things like “Genocide Joe” namecalling or just purposeless negativity.
I haven’t seen many cases where people have pushed back on people who appeared to be trying to have honest discussions and didn’t appear to be trying to justify supporting Trump.
The general feeling has absolutely been that Biden needs to stop fucking supporting genocide (although people have also definitely tried to say how he’s doing the best he can given limited influence and all options being shitty in some way, or how he’s using the weapons shipments as bargaining chips, or whatever).

I mean, like the pope is mostly OK with gays and gay marriage now (…more or less). They’d mostly moved on to trans people being the hate target. It’s less of a conflict than it used to be.
We have some really weak records that some dude existed.
That doesn’t mean anything about why your mythology is true. We also have records of lots of people who millions believed were divine.
But heres another thing: You are not a Christian because it’s Truth.
You’re a Christian because your parents were. That’s it. That’s the main reason you believe what you do and swear it is real. You happened to be born into it.
Same as how 99.9999% of Hindus are only Hindu because their parents were, or Muslims, or etc. They also believe what they do not because it’s the Real Truth. But because of where they were born. Which is a really, really weak reason.
…And anyway - there’s a whole lot more people alive today who believe in other religions; why should I believe yours over theirs?
What are you up to instead of what you wish you were doing?
